Useless Speculation

“Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples which are not written in this book…” (John 20:30)

            John gives us a good reminder.  The Bible doesn't include all the information we want; it includes all the information we need.  There are many details of Jesus’ life and the history of mankind which would be fascinating to know but are not necessary for us.  God, in His infinite wisdom, included exactly what we need and no more.  Every word of the Bible has a purpose.

            We do well to not waste our time speculating on what was not included.  The important thing is to understand what is in the text and to saturate ourselves in it.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
